It is a bit off topic, but I was always wondering why Russian and Serbian use Roman names of the months even though they were Orthodox, while Polish and Croatian use the old Slavic names even though they're Catholic.

I realy don't know...
Probably becouse Polaks and Croats have same ,,philosopy,,..or ,,spirit,, of language...Also I see in slovakian language same ,,spirit,,
We use in ,,evolution,, of language base from our origin language..we use root from our words and mix from two different words we make new one (germans do that also)
I really can't say for russian language because I am not
connoisseur of russian language..but for serbian language-i know loot of serbian language..and they werry easly take words from forenger language and adopt this forenger words in serbian languge ...
All language have this ting, but serbian do that manny many time:
sargarepa(from hungarian),fudbal(from english),telegram(english),sanduk(turkya),lezeci policajac(croatian),basket(english),ect,ect
I not say that croatian,or polish not have example like this but in comparation with serbian-mutch much less,Probably russian language have same ,,spirit,, like serbian language?

Yeah, in Russian there are also a lot of words borrowed from foreign languages. I personally would prefer to use the original Slavic words though.
